InterSystems Caché ® is an advanced object database at the heart of many hospital applications, including Electronic Medical Records (EMR) applications from Allscripts, Epic Systems, GE Healthcare, McKesson, Siemens, as well as InterSystems themselves. The US Dept of Veterans Affairs has also used Caché as the basis for their award-winning hospital system, called Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA).

BridgeHead identified a gap in the market where there was no standard product available to manage the backup and recovery of the Caché database, critical for the protection of many hospital applications. BridgeHead’s new Data Protection Suite for Caché now offers an “out of the box” solution with this capability – making the safeguarding of data within Caché environments significantly easier.

Of particular interest in the United Kingdom, this solution introduction is expected to help position BridgeHead to support the much talked about VA VistA solution currently under review by NHS England. BridgeHead describes the impact of its new product for UK users in its blog, “A Promising Backup Solution for NHS VistA”.

BridgeHead Data Protection Suite for Caché provides two backup agents, supporting two alternative backup modes, designed to provide best-fit approaches for both small and large hospital environments depending on the storage in place at the facility. The solution also offers flexible options for working with Caché’s own protection capabilities, operating in concert at local and remote sites to extend protection to disaster recovery locations. Selecting the BridgeHead solution enables hospitals to meet the protection guidelines specified by vendors of hospital applications which embed Caché, such as the guidelines from Epic.
